What it means in practice
A portable fire extinguisher hangs here. The extinguishing medium (powder, foam, CO2) is described on the extinguisher itself.
Legal basis
Annex to IMO resolution A.1116(30) (adopted 05.12.2017), table of fire-fighting equipment markings. Mandatory on ships built from 01.01.2019; older ships may carry signs per resolution A.760(18). Requirements for the equipment: SOLAS chapter II-2 and the FSS Code. Fire control plan symbols are a separate set (table 3 of the annex), not covered by this card.
This is not a legal text: in any doubt the current wording of the resolution and regulations decides.
